As in the Monstrumologist series, the question of what it means to be human is at the forefront in the words of cartoonist Walt Kelly, "We have met the enemy and he is us." It's a book that targets a broad commercial audience, and Yancey's aim is every bit as good as Cassie's. Yancey is more interested in examining how these world-shaking revelations affect characters who barely recognize what their lives have become. The story's biggest twists aren't really surprises the hints are there for readers to see. Meanwhile, 17-year-old "Zombie," an unwitting military recruit, is facing a crisis of conscience. A rare survivor of the invasion, 16-year-old Cassie, armed with an M16 rifle and her younger brother's teddy bear, is trying to reunite with her brother and escape the "Silencer" (assassin) trying to kill her. The author fully embraces the genre, while resisting its more sensational tendencies (rest assured, though, there are firefights and explosions aplenty). Yancey makes a dramatic 180 from the intellectual horror of his Monstrumologist books to open a gripping SF trilogy about an Earth decimated by an alien invasion. should do for aliens what Twilight did for vampires.".
